There was a popular show last winter that showed how various families all over our nation are preparing for possible upcoming catastrophes.
Not to be taken lightly, it is important to have supplies of bottled water, foods that are not perishable, reliable vehicles, and other common sense items such as a supply of first aid stuff, prescription meds for those who take or need them.......and so on.........

The die hard ones have actually built "bunkers" in various forms all across our country.

Other die hard ones are teaching their kids to eat insects, worms, etc. in case of food shortages.

Up here, we always have alternate heat sources in case of a blizzard or whatnot.......weather radios, woodpiles, etc. but these preppers each have a unique way of "getting ready" for possible diaster.
Ditto for stocking up on pantry items, things like toilet paper, paper towels, batteries, you name it...........things you would really need if , for some odd reason, supplies did NOT GET TO THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET.

It isn't a joke. Mother Nature could be the culprit....not alkaeda.
